As an assistant professor at LPU, I can confirm that there are many physical education courses at LPU. It is the top physical education college in Punjab and offers courses that are NCTE-approved. Candidates looking for admission to physical education courses at LPU are required to clear the LPUPET test. 

LPUPET stands for Lovely Professional University Physical Efficiency Test. It tests candidates on many physical attributes to provide admission. Students clearing the LPUPET can be admitted to physical education courses. 

Physical education courses are offered at bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels. B.P.Ed and M.P.Ed are some of the most pursued physical education courses at LPU. Whether candidates can take admission based on merit is not mentioned on the official website of the LPU. You should check with the admission cell to confirm if there are any admissions in physical education courses based on merit.

LPU used to provide admission to BTech courses based on the JEE Main exam. It stopped accepting JEE Main as of May 2024 and completely shifted to LPUNEST. LPUNEST is the university entrance exam conducted by LPU to provide admission to its various courses.

Candidates are required to have 60% marks in class 12 in the combined physics, chemistry and mathematics/biology sections. They must then qualify for the LPUNEST exam and appear in the counselling process. 

Candidates can use their JEE Main score to secure scholarships at LPU. The university offers attractive scholarships to students with 80% marks or more in the JEE Main exam.

The companies coming to IIM Sirmaur usually don’t have any CGPA criteria. While some companies like HCL require a student to have a 60% criteria throughout their Academia including the first year of MBA, the number of these companies is very less. 1-2 companies like SAP labs, Lenskart, etc also ask the students to have a minimum of 7 CGPA in their first year. Hence, it is recommended that each student should at least maintain a CGPA criteria above 6. This will be enough for the students participating in the Final Placement Process.

My Profile: Fresher, 9/8/8 Academics, Graduation in Computer Application.

There were two panelists and one of them was from a tech background. My interview started with a question about my introduction. Since I was a BCA graduate, my follow up questions were mostly like: Why is python widely used in the companies? Why do companies prefer Python over JAVA and C++? What is a List and a Queue? Basically, if you are a fresher, you should be well versed with the syllabus of your graduation. Later, I belonged to Jalandhar, so the rest of my questions were: Give me one USP of Jalandhar? What is Jalandhar famous for? Few of the most prominent questions asked to me were: Why MBA after BCA? Why not MCA?

So, I suggest all the students should at least prepare their syllabus from the graduation, thoroughly research about their city, state and about their interests, and must be very clear with the goals for pursuing an MBA.

At IIM Sirmaur and for that matter, in most IIMs, a following sample structure of grading is followed: - 

Please note that the marking scheme varies from faculty to faculty but the above mentioned components are the most used components used by the faculties to award marks to the students. Sometimes, when more than one faculty member teaches a course, the marking scheme splits into two or three and individual professors will have an individual marking scheme with the respect to the total marks bifurcated between the faculty members.

To be honest, it requires more effort by the student to fail a course than to pass a course. The reason being that a majority part of the grading system is mostly qualitative. This means that if a student completes his assignments, takes part in his group projects and actively participates in a lecture will never fail a subject. The term exams constitute very less and even if a student scores a 0 in his term exams, provided he is an active participant in the rest of the grading schemes, will still not receive even a D. The students suffer mostly because of the lack of enough attendance (which leads to a grade drop) and lack of listening and participation in a course.

IIM Sirmaur like most B-schools follow a relative grading. However, each student is required to score an overall 35 marks out of 100 at the end of the course. The grading system varies from faculty to faculty and is relative to the highest marks scored in the course. If a student is below 35 marks, he is considered a failure and awarded an F in the course. A student securing 2 Fs in a year is required to repeat the year. A student securing D, which is basically the lowest grade offered to a student based on the grading scheme, can have utmost 2 Ds in one year. A 3rd D will mean a repeat year. However, Ds are rarely awarded while Fs are common amongst the students.

All the exams are practical application based where almost every exam has a case-study and certain questions are asked on the respective case study. The student is required to read the case study in a period of 2.5 - 3 hours and simultaneously answer the questions asked on the case-study. The questions asked are mostly strategy and analysis based and the exams are usually open book. The students are required to use theoretical knowledge and use it to answer the questions within the stipulated time.
